Commonwealth Corporation (CommCorp) is a quasi-public agency that was established in 1996 through the merger of two Massachusetts nonprofit organizations: the Industrial Service Program and the Bay State Skills Corporation. The agency is responsible for administering and delivering a wide range of publicly and privately funded programs. CommCorp is governed by a 19-member board of directors that includes leaders from the private sector, organized labor, academia, and government.
As a nationally recognized leader in building industry sector partnerships that address the skill needs of specific employers in an industry, we create new or expanded capacity in education and training programs for demand occupations. We are committed to ensuring that Massachusetts businesses have access to a pipeline of highly skilled workers and that youth and adults in Massachusetts have pathways to good jobs in the knowledge economy.
Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) manages the Commonwealth’s workforce development and labor departments to ensure that workers, employers, and the unemployed have the tools and training needed to succeed in the Massachusetts economy.
EOLWD oversees the Department of Unemployment Assistance, the Department of Career Services, the Department of Labor Standards, the Department of Industrial Accidents, the Department of Labor Relations, and the Commonwealth Corporation.

We value the mental and physical health of our employees. We also respect that our employees are “humans first,” with unique personal circumstances and obligations outside of work. We seek to support our employees in balancing these commitments while achieving professional success.
We seek to strengthen the workforce system and drive meaningful impact in individuals’ lives by working closely with our grantees, partners, and communities across Massachusetts. In our collaborations, we proactively seek feedback from a variety of perspectives as we respond to the needs of those we serve. We apply the same principles inside of our organization.
We strive to invest in our people and foster a culture of growth. Approaching challenges with curiosity and creativity, we work to create an environment that encourages improvement through strategic innovation. We actively pursue learning opportunities to enhance our personal and professional lives.
We center equity in everything we do. We are dedicated to making informed decisions that promote fairness, access, and advancement for all. We elevate the needs of communities that are historically excluded from access to resources and power. We commit to making our workplace inclusive and psychologically safe, and we empower individuals to show up to work as their authentic selves.
We hold ourselves accountable to the highest ethical standards. Transparency, trust, and honesty are core to our work. We take ownership of our successes and failures, with intent to learn from both.
We forge human connections with kindness, empathy, and compassion. By showing respect to ourselves and our colleagues, grantees, and partners, we aim to create a culture where everyone feels seen and appreciated. We commit to communicating with courtesy and consideration, especially when managing disagreement and conflict.
